    True.

    Can this be read as racial discrimination?
    Like part of the consumer have some bad behaviors, and you think all consumers from China are bad guys, neglecting that those Chinese consumer who behave normally with silence is actually the majority

    No, not really.

    Service providers are well within their rights to take a business decision to NOT serve an entire market that results in the highest percentage of chargebacks, account information, fraudulent orders, resource abuse etc. Not to mention the fact that the problem gets compounded 10x when you throw a massive language barrier into the mix!

    It is just a numbers game. Even if 5% of my revenue goes towards paying for chargebacks / refunds (when I already have slim margins), while dealing with a specific market, I may chose to pull out if I am able to compensate for lost sales from other regions across the world.

    Well, you can simply announce that consumers from China are not allowed for chargebacks/refund, that is pretty okay and far more better than banning them from buying, right?

    Sadly, chargeback / refunds aren't in the hands of the provider but the payment processor and banks, who charge a premium for handling every such case, and mostly settle in favor of the buyer.

    Besides, individuals from the region you mentioned above have a habit of initiating chargebacks / refunds instead of ticketing in and reaching out to the service providers to sort some issue(s) out. So..

    From my knowledge, it's only possible to initiate chargebacks / refunds if you use PayPal.
    But if you buy something using the credit card directly, it's not possible to get chargeback/refunds just contacting with the bank. They would tell that if you got any problem, contact with the service provieder.

    It might be a solution not allowing consumers from China to use PayPal as the payment method

    That is the plan, however the billing software does not currently support restrictions on billing method based on origin.

    These decisions were made when the evidence was clear that accepting orders from a specific region actually cost the business more than it made from that region.

    It was a purely financial driven decision and has nothing to do with race.

    It should be noted that this decision has been reversed twice in the past and each time the result has been the same.

    Totally understand your situation. Just feel pity for those who behave decently hardly ever asking for refund/chargebacks. :s In fact they did nothing wrong, having no faults, but innocent good men affected by other bad guys :s

    But why you are looking to activate the disaster recovery now? Clouvider data-center didn't even start burning.

    Absolutely, on a personal level I really hate the situation, I am incredibly open and inclusive as a person so it genuinely hurts when people use the race card when they have no idea who I am. It is simply business survival.

    Almost 100% of the issues can be traced back to hostloc and zhujiwiki (I forget the spelling sorry) if the wider Chinese community could influence positive change in those areas you would probably find a lot more doors open generally with many hosts. This is often discussed in private hosting providers only channels.

    But the right time to ask the question about how to activate disaster recovery is before a fire, no? I just want to be prepared!

    Same here. I started to consolidate a few servers only a few months ago, cancelling some idlers.. Since then I got 3 more I think.. :|

    I will have to come back to you on that one, if you could give me an indication on what you are wanting though in an ideal world that would help, e.g. 500GB, 2TB, 10TB, 100TB etc? PM is fine.

    Could probably do that for around €75 /year roughly however the hardware is completely full right now.

    I'm sure you'd fill a server in hours with an offer like that.

    well when I was doing the double disk and 50% off promotion that plan was effectively available anyway with merging a few plans so that tells me I just need to make a new plan that caters for that specific size, thanks for the info, I did not know that was a standard to beat!

    I guess most people storage-focused use it as benchmark. I find it very hard to beat. Ask @Falzo

    LetBox 2vcpu E5, 2GB RAM, 20GB NVMe + 3TB HDD $7/m is still my ideal combination. It's versatile enough to run a few storage applications that require a DB (e.g Nextcloud, Photo album apps, etc)
